LCS dines with Buffalo Wild Wings partnership

Riot Games has announced the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) has partnered with major restaurant chain Buffalo Wild Wings.

Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW, but often colloquially referred to as B-Dubs) is a restaurant chain known as much for the absurd amount of televisions on the wall as it is for the actual chicken wings.

The company has been a major advertiser in sporting events for years and this LCS deal will bring esports into that sports-heavy real estate. According to the release, this is the first streaming deal between an esports property and a major restaurant chain to live stream events at scale.
